Chapter 320: the $1.1 million win
A audible gulp echoed through the stunned audience.“He really said the money is for her?”The entire room stood frozen, staring in absolute, jaw-dropping disbelief. Lysandra’s sharp eyes widened in total astonishment, Brian’s jaw dropped so low it looked dislocated, and Selene herself felt as though her mind had completely shut down.Logically, Kael had every right to claim the payout. He could have easily handed Selene fifty thousand dollars to cover her earlier loss tenfold and walked away with over a million dollars pure profit in his own pocket. It would have been an insanely generous move that anyone in the room would have commended.Yet here he was, casually handing over the entire one-point-one-million-dollar fortune without blinking an eye.Kael couldn't care less about their staring. Sure, he could have kept the money, but he had explicitly bought the stone as a gift for Selene. To him, a word given was a word kept. Whether the stone was worth thirteen hundred dollars or th
Chapter 319: 1.1 Million Bucks
Master Lin's public confession was the final nail in the coffin.The auditorium completely exploded into a frenzy of screams and wild chatter."God damn! It's real! It's actually real! He bought it for thirteen hundred dollars and made one point one million! That's over an eight-hundred-fold return!""Who the hell is that kid?!"In the VIP aisle, Lysandra Ashcroft stood frozen in sheer astonishment. Her elegant composure cracked for the first time all evening as her sharp eyes locked onto Kael, filled with deep intrigue and disbelief.Beside Kael, Brian’s jaw was practically resting on the floor. "What the fuck..." he muttered under his breath, turning his head back and forth between Kael and the glowing stage displays, completely speechless.Selene remained leaning against Kael's arm, unable to utter a single word.Her mind was a complete blur. She had screamed at Kael, insulted him, and thrown her last cash in his face, desperate to reject the very stone he was trying to buy for her
Chapter 318: Golden Color Jadeite
Brian let out a heavy, defeated sigh, running a hand over his face. He truly didn't believe anything good could come from this cheap rock. Kael, however, remained completely silent, his sharp eyes locked onto the cutting table.The saw finished its cut, splitting the small boulder completely in two. The technician sprayed water over the cut faces, washing away the rock dust.The interior wasn't just yellow. Deep within the core, striking bands of rich, emerald green were intricately fused with radiant, sun-golden yellow crystal patterns. It was a breathtaking, brilliant dual-color mix that gleamed under the stage spotlights.Yet, because natural jade was overwhelmingly expected to be pure green, the crowd immediately scoffed at it as synthetic trash."See? It's just pretty for nothing!" a man sneered. "It's just a colored, spray-painted rock!"Up near the stage, Master Lin was about to turn his back and walk away, but his eyes caught the cut faces on the monitor. He stopped dead in h
Chapter 317: The $1300 Stone
"A gift to her?"The words echoed over the crowd like a bizarre joke. A collective gasp went through the nearby rows, followed by a wave of bewildered chatter.Selene froze, her tear-streaked face twisting in utter disbelief. “A gift to me?” she thought, fresh rage surging through her veins. “After making me lose thirty thousand dollars, he wants to hand me a thirteen-hundred-dollar piece of mud as a gift?! Is he trying to joke with me? This guy clearly doesn't know his place!”Brian quickly leaned in, pulling Kael back by the arm and whispering frantically into his ear. "Kael, what on earth are you doing? You know she's already in immense pain from losing that amount of money! That's a sum most people can't make back even if they work for months! Why are you buying a thirteen-hundred-dollar stone for her? If a thirty-thousand-dollar stone couldn't get her anything, do you really think a thirteen-hundred-dollar rock is going to?"Up on stage, Master Lin scoffed, looking down at Kae
Chapter 316: Selene Loses $30,000
"The starting price for this item is $1,300!" the host announced.Hearing the price, Kael raised his head to look at the stage.The stone sitting on the tray was roughly the size of a mini ball. It was ugly, rough, and completely caked in dried, dark mud. It looked more like a common rock pulled out of a gutter than a valuable piece of raw gemstone.Yet, the exact second Kael locked eyes on it, he felt a powerful, familiar energy pulsing toward him. His gut feeling surged back instantly, so strong and distinct it almost startled him.“Why the hell am I feeling that this is something good?” Kael thought, frowning as he tried to shake his mind off the sensation.“Is my mind playing another trick on me again?”Beside him, Selene was completely quiet, she stared blankly at the floor, totally crushed as she thought about the fifty thousand dollars she had just lost tonight.Kael looked over at her and let out a quiet sigh. He
Chapter 315: Wrong Prediction
The inspector’s words hit the room like a sudden drop in temperature.An instant, suffocating silence fell over the entire hall. The continuous chatter, the soft music, and the clinking of glasses all stopped dead.Kael stood near the front, his hands casually folded across his chest. Just a second ago, he had been waiting with quiet confidence, completely ready to watch the stone open up and prove Master Lin and the entire crowd wrong but as his eyes locked onto the dull grey slate on the screen, the confident smile on his face vanished.His heart sank into his stomach, he was the very first person to realize what had happened."Wait!" Kael called out, taking a fast step toward the stage. "How can you say that? Cut off another section! Slice it two centimeters lower from the right side!"In past stone auctions he had seen, precious jade was sometimes buried deep in a corner where a single central slice couldn't reach.Hearing Kael's urgent command, a faint spark of desperate hope fla
